More Information

The relationship between business partners is one that is created by law. That is, the rights that you possess in your business and the obligations that you owe to your partner are a function of both New Jersey statutory law (the "partnership laws") and the extensive case law comprised of legal decisions rendered by the New Jersey courts over many years. Partners possess specified legal obligations to one another respecting the day-to day maintenance of their business, the division of profits and the overall governance of business activities. In addition to these statutory rights and obligations, partners possess various "fiduciary" duties and obligations to one another.
